Literally screenshot the exact same thing to come on here to say the same. What is wrong with the woman?
That seems to have touched a nerve.
She is always over the top defensive. Growing up it is so obvious she never heard the word "no" and just got what she want when she stomped her feet. She's still a petulant toddler.
Just popping this here as I know some folks reading may be those interested in having wls. Well done Emma's friend who had wls 2 years ago. However Emma states that after 2 years Nat has kept it all off, well anyone who hasn't at 2 years needs a serious talking to. At 2 years post surgery your bypass is still in the best stage, an effective tool. From 2 yrs on the struggle gets real, your wls tool is now in need of help, this is where the new attitude and healthy living are your best friends. Lets describe it as kept off when 5-10 years have gone by.
Totally agree that the “friend” who has had wls is thepbfamily. She seems to have done it the right way from what I see but who knows. She does seem friendly than Emma and less aggressive but then no one is truly themselves on the gram! 
It really has hasn't it!! This one too, it sounds like I'll never get the nutrients I need so as long as I take my multi vits etc I can eat whatever I like in a smaller portion

Who asked about her eating habits not changing
When has she actually eaten a piece of veg or something with vitamins in?!
In her last Morrisons box pre op
Bet she just fed those to Tony while she stuffed herself with pre op 'never again' food.In her last Morrisons box pre op
Billtong? One of the toughest, sharpest food out there. A muller corner? Get some natural yoghurt and some blueberries! You do you boo
I did wonder if she's struggling with dumping due to the amount of sugar in the yoghurt
I refuse to believe her dietician is ok with the amount of sugar she's consuming. She must be lying to her/him. There's practically the same amount of sugar in that yogurt as in a Snickers bar. I know she didn't eat it all but presumably she set out with the intention to do so.
I think it really reflects so badly on Tonic that they considered her a good candidate for surgery.

When I feel sick the last thing I would want is cheese or beans!
Can someone explain dumping again please?
That is very aggressively put and if she has been told that if I was her I would be ringing and ask for my money back. Smaller portions - yes, what I like - Nope. Well of course do what you like Emma Disney babes. Smaller portions of high fat/sugar laden calorific items will be much much more than a smaller portion of a healthy eating meal. Plus yes you can get a lot of what you need as nutrients from the CORRECT food groups. It is because of the malabsorption that is a key part of the bypass which means that you do not obtain a number of vitamins or elements to the full extent you require. That is not the same for everyone and a full blood panel (Blood Test) should give you a clear picture of what you as an individual will need. To start with they suggest a generic set. Multivitamins are key for everyone and you need to take more than the dose suggested on the pack - your surgical team will advise. Not everyone needs iron or vitamin D but it does no harm (I asked). Calcium is also key. Emma is going on the UK format but the US doctors who have way more experience of her op state it must be Calcium Citrate. A quick google will bring up you tube videos that demonstrate why.
For a supposed girl boss of the internet she certainly sounds less than well researched - ask my mate doesn't do it. I am sorry if this is seen as an essay but already she is setting herself up as the girl boss of wls, youtube videos a plenty, ask me anything on insta. I just want to post a bit more well researched point of view gained over 13 years from someone who has actually done it and remains at 23 stones+ down and oooh yes Emma babes some days I can fit into a size 10.
Yes I can - this is not my essay just a cut and paste . If you are not interested in Emma's wls or wls in general just click by.
Dumping syndrome, also called rapid gastric emptying, occurs when food moves too quickly from the stomach into the first section of the small intestine, known as the duodenum.
Symptoms of dumping syndrome include cramps, diarrhea, and nausea after eating, particularly after eating high-sugar foods.
Dumping syndrome can be treated through dietary and lifestyle changes. More severe cases may require medication or surgery.
Read on to learn more about the symptoms and causes of dumping syndrome, and the available treatment options.
Fast facts on dumping syndrome:
- The condition most commonly occurs in people who have undergone gastric surgery.
- Symptoms typically present within 30 minutes of eating.
- Treatment can largely be managed through lifestyle and dietary changes.
There are two phases of dumping syndrome:
- Early dumping syndrome — symptoms begin 10 to 30 minutes after eating.
- Late dumping syndrome — symptoms begin 2 to 3 hours after eating.
Symptoms
Dumping syndrome symptoms vary depending on the individual and the phase of the condition.
Symptoms of early dumping syndrome
Symptoms are quick to come on after eating, especially if the meal was high in sugar. People with early dumping syndrome may experience:
- diarrhea
- dizziness
- feeling bloated
- increased heart rate
- nausea
- skin flushing
- stomach pain and cramping
- vomiting
Occurring within 3 hours of meals, late dumping syndrome can cause low blood sugar, which may lead to the following symptoms:
- dizziness
- fatigue
- hunger
- increased heart rate
- skin flushing
- sweating
- weakness
Causes and risk factors
Within the stomach, the sudden arrival of a large amount of food may cause early dumping syndrome.
In healthy individuals, food moves from the stomach into the intestines over the course of several hours. With dumping syndrome, however, food particles are not stored in the stomach for long enough and are emptied into the duodenum too quickly.
Early dumping syndrome is caused by the sudden arrival of a large amount of food in the stomach. This leads to the rapid movement of fluid into the intestine, which causes discomfort, bloating, and diarrhea.
Late dumping syndrome results from the body releasing a large amount of insulin. Insulin is a hormone that helps the body absorb the sugars released from food. An increased level of insulin in the bloodstream leads to low blood sugar.
The most common cause of dumping syndrome is surgery, with the condition arising in at least 15 percent of people who have part of their stomach removed.
The following types of surgery increase the risk of dumping syndrome:
- Gastrectomy: This type of surgery, which involves the removal of some or all of the stomach, may be carried out on people with stomach cancer.
- Gastric bypass surgery: Typically performed to treat life-threatening obesity, gastric bypass surgery creates a small pouch in the stomach to help patients limit their food intake.
- Esophagectomy: In this procedure, some or all of the food pipe is removed and rebuilt using another body part. An esophagectomy can be used to treat advanced esophageal cancer.

Diagnosis
To diagnose dumping syndrome, a doctor may carry out some or all of the following:
- Medical history: A doctor may diagnose dumping syndrome by taking a full medical and family history, and assessing signs and symptoms. Some doctors use a scoring system to assign points to each symptom, with the total score determining the presence of dumping syndrome.
- Oral glucose tolerance test: This test measures blood sugar to check for the low levels associated with late dumping syndrome.
- Gastric emptying test: In this test, food containing a radioactive material is consumed. The passage of the radioactive material is tracked through the digestive system with a scanner to see how quickly food leaves the stomach and enters the small intestine.
Lifestyle and dietary changes can be used to ease the symptoms of dumping syndrome and are often very effective.
More severe cases that are not improved with lifestyle and dietary changes may require medications or surgery.
Lifestyle and dietary changes
Dietary changes, such as consuming more high-fiber foods, may help to relieve symptoms.
The following may help relieve symptoms of dumping syndrome:
- eat five to six small meals throughout the day, instead of three large meals
- stop eating once full
- chew food thoroughly to aid digestion
- do not drink liquids in the 30 minutes before or after meals
- drink 8 glasses of water throughout the day, but only between meals
- lying down for 30 minutes after a meal
- consume high-fiber foods, such as oatmeal, whole wheat breads, beans, lentils, and vegetables
- limit or avoid high-sugar foods such as candy, cakes, fruit juice, and soda
- limit or avoid white bread, white rice, and white pastas
- cut out alcohol
- increase protein intake by eating foods such as lean meats, fish, and tofu
- remove dairy from the diet to see if that eases symptoms, as dairy is high in the natural sugar lactose
- add pectin, psyllium, or guar gum to meals to slow the rate at which food moves through the digestive system
Medication
If dietary changes do not improve symptoms, a doctor may prescribe an octreotide injection. This is an anti-diarrheal drug that slows the rate at which food empties into the small intestine. It can also prevent the release of insulin to reduce the risk of low blood sugar levels.
Adverse reactions to this drug include nausea and vomiting.
Surgery
If dumping syndrome does not respond to other treatments, or if it is caused by previous surgery, a doctor may suggest surgery as a treatment.
There are several surgical procedures that can treat the condition. The type that is required usually depends on the initial gastric surgery performed.
However, the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases warn that corrective surgery for dumping syndrome is often unsuccessful.
Complications
Dumping syndrome is a common complication of gastric surgeries. Other complications that may arise with dumping syndrome, and as a result of surgery, include:
- problems with nutrient absorption
- anemia, due to a lack of vitamin B-12, folic acid, or iron
- osteoporosis, or weak bones, caused by problems with calcium absorption

She’s an absolute thicko
Is she an only child? She behaves like one.
she’s not, she has older brothers and sister. Also, I’m an only child so I hate the connotation that we are all spoilt Disney twats.
I’m just a Disney twit.
I just think she has one of those faces that annoys me - like did I need to see a photo of you sweating (probably from picking up your fork) and your fucked up teeth?
No I didn’t - well done for going to the gym - million’s of us do without a fuss.
